So, hearing about the upcoming collaboration featuring my favorite characters – Misato, Asuka, Mari, and Rei – has me absolutely buzzing! I can’t wait to see what exciting adventures await these powerful women in the newest offering from NIKKE. Let’s hope it doesn’t take too long for this collaboration to drop!

This is how House of the Dragon should end

HBO’s hit show, House of the Dragon, delivered an impressive second season filled with drama, dragons, death, and chaos. Positioning itself as one of the standout series for 2024, this flagship production is poised to compete fiercely in next year’s Emmy Awards. Eager spectators will have to endure a wait of at least a year or two before they can unravel the plotlines developed this season and enjoy another installment of this captivating tale. Fingers crossed that the upcoming Knight of the Seven Kingdoms season will tide us over until then!

The five best new comic books of the week (July 31)

Choosing the top five comic books of the week proved challenging. The standout for me was David Pepose’s Space Ghost No. 4, marking a significant moment as Space Ghost, Jan, and Jace faced their first real adversaries. The issue concluded with a suspenseful cliffhanger that hinted at a pivotal shift in the series. Another impressive read was Scarlett, penned by Kelly Thompson and illustrated by Marco Ferrari. Their collaboration felt like a cinematic masterpiece, solidifying their suitability for this series. It was also hard not to include Batman No. 151 on this list, given its importance in DC Comics’ crossover event, Absolute Power.

At last, Disney World provides a residence for the villains. On Saturday at the D23 Expo, designs for a “Villains Land” at Walt Disney World were revealed, with Josh D’Amaro, chairman of Disney Experiences, assuring an adventurous new take on what a Disney experience should offer – a bold new perspective on what a villain-themed land could become. Although one might expect a fear-inducing atmosphere, it seems the plan aims to provide something different and exciting.

A Short Hike’s composer was inspired by The Binding of Isaac

Playing “A Short Hike” reveals just how integral the music is to the overall experience; without it, your two-hour adventure feels more like a simple walk rather than an immersive experience. Interestingly, that enchanting soundtrack might never have been created if composer Mark Sparling hadn’t played “The Binding of Isaac” during his college years.
